Health and beauty retailer Boots is to implement a mobile platform for task management, communication, and training across its 2,500 stores.

The new technology from YOOBIC aims to help reduce workload for employees in the retailer’s store network and improve customer experience.

Employees will use a mobile application called MyHub, which will be rolled out in November.

Staff will use the platform to complete tasks like weekly checklists, safety logbooks and merchandising execution, and have access to real-time feedback and visibility on task execution to regions and support offices.

“We are delighted to have been chosen by a prestigious brand like Boots,” said Frabrice Haiat, chief executive and co-founder of YOOBIC. “We are really excited to work with them to assist their digitisation processes and help them to support their teams to be more efficient every day.”

Supplying demand: how fashion retailers can meet the needs of customers and still be sustainable

The fashion industry is no stranger to breaking the mould and setting trends, but the pursuit of style can come at a huge cost to the environment.

New legislation, such as the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, will set mandatory minimums for the inclusion of recycled fibres in textiles, making them longer-lasting and easier to repair.
